I was a student in Mr. Pardue's American History class at Glen Oaks high school in the late 1960's. He was a great man & teacher who taught history the way it should be taught. He really enjoyed teaching us the Civil War portion of american history. Mr. Pardue was a very honorable man and heavan will be a better place with him in it. I will close by using a phrase that he ended his class with on many days and it was "Good Night Irene". Take care my friend, Harry Breeden

I remember Mr. Pardue from his days as a social studies teacher at Glen Oaks High School. He was a wonderful teacher and a nice man. All of his students always respected him for his knowledge, fairness, and ethics. There are few teachers who were his equal! My condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren, gr-grandchildren, and extended family.
